NFL cuts coming.

How long can we keep 4 QBs? Will Portis just stay on the IR? Will we release Brohm or Marve? Portis looks like a stud and played really well against us in pre-season.

Does Nick Moore's return to the active roster mean Romby Bryant is soon released? With other International receivers on the PR - do we need Bryant?

Will we keep Mike Renaud when he gets healthy? And what about some of the PR players - Daivon Dumas, Sam McGuffie, Jarvis Jones? Will they be kept as insurance or bumped by NFL cuts? And in the case of Jarvis Jones, can we keep both him and Chad Anderson?

Will Aaron Woods replace Troy Stoudemire on the active roster when Woods heals up? Is Woods really injured?

What about Sears, Markett and Suber - will we see them active again?

When are the clubs allowed to expand their roster size - after Labour Day?

 

Lot of questions. Hoping folks here have some ideas.

I predict that all the practice roster players get released at the end of the season.

Woods is healthy.

Woods is healthy. One game IR is being abused a little this year around the league because of the extra cap room.

I would have Woods and Stoudemire on the 46 - and just pick one of Cotton or Grigsby.  Giving Cotton a couple touches per game is just pointless.

What's the point in having both Woods and Stiudermire active?

Woods: AKA dead man walking

We will keep 4 QBs on our roster all season long.  I doubt there is a team in this league that will do otherwise.

 

Likewise we will keep as many players as we can find places to stash them for depth.  Bryant has already filled in for 2 injuries this year.  Renaud is one tweaked Liram hammy away from being half of a replacement.  I wouldn't even be surprised if he outright gets his job back.

Sears isn't being stashed, he's hurt but should be back next week..

Portis did not play in either pre-season game for the Argos.

Yes I looked and didn't see any stats for Portis but he does look impressive in practice he has a strong arm as well. All 4 QBs this year have Strong arms, and Portis is very mobile but he is a bit light to take any pounds at 6'4" 205

You are right JBR. I stand corrected. I must've been thinking of his pre-season appearance for Argos against us in 2013. We lost that game 24-6 and Portis played 4th Q for Toronto, completing 4 of 5 for 67 yds. I think he ran for big yards also.

Name a qb that didn't look good against the bombers in preseason last year...

Or almost any other game last year.

@DarrinBauming: D-lineman Kashawn Fraser working with the 1s at #Bombers practice again today. Looks to me like he'll be in for Jason Vega (toe) on Friday.

He looked like a monster when he was in... Time to see if it keeps going.. Sucks about vega being out tho..

Howard still at OT? John Bowman is salivating in Montreal....say it ain't so?

If Howard is still at OT, we may be in trouble. Bowman is very good and very relentless, and has embarrassed some good tackles.  I shudder to think what he will do to Howard. Willy has been beaten up a bit the last few games and one good thump due to a clear shot from Bowman (or other Montreal D-linemen) and we could be looking at Brohm in a hurry, then suddenly the field is no longer tilted towards Montreal.

Where is knapp?

Bowman will be against January most of the night.

We're only scrimmaging from one hash?  Not sure how you can say that.  Most defenses shift based on the strength of the field, and if they feel they have a mismatch they might just take it.

And Bowman on January should make us feel a lot better ?

Bowman has one sack against the Bombers in the last 3 seasons and none in his last 5 games against the Bombers.

Bowman will move, obviously. Just like when the Riders took advantage of John Chick against Cordarro Howard.

anybody feel that Renaud will be back this game?

anybody feel that Renaud will be back this game?

 

O'Shea said he's out at least another week, so no.
